Hi
Thanks for writing to us
I understand that your daughter was underweight and is getting more weight gain than necessary.
I would advice to cut down on icecream and grilled cheese.
Other foods you mentioned are fine
Increase fruits and vegetables of any type.
Try cutting down on cookies and chocolates .
Soups and oats should help in attaining medium range weight.
Milk can be given upto 3 glasses a day, not more.
